HUGH MORRIS, OF OKLAHOMA, OKLAHOMA.

WIND DVV-OPENER.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, I-IUGi-r I/IoRRrs, a citizen of the United States,residing at- Oklahoma city, in the county of Oklahoma, State ofOklahoma, have invented cert-ain new and useful Improvements in Window-Openers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, andexact descrip-- tion of the invention, such as will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appert-ains to make and use the same.

The invention relates to a window and more particularly to the class ofpull poles or sticks for unlocking, raising and lowering window sashesprovided with sash fasteners disclosed in my copending application tiledMarch 22, 1909, Serial No. 484,927.

The primary object of the invention is the provision of a pull pole forwindows in which the sashes thereof can be unlocked when in closedposition and at the same time the said sashes may bc raised or loweredto any desired degree within t-he window frame when the occasiondemands.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a pull pole of thischaracter in which there is supported a ratchet disk which latter'cooperates with a key for enga ging a sash fastener to permit theunlocking thereof and also the opening of the window sash atpredetermined distances.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a pull pole whichis simple in construction, thoroughly eiicient in function or operation,durable, cheap and inexpensive in the manufacture.

lli/lith these and other objects in view the invention consists in theconstruction, combination and arrangement of parts as will behereinafter more fully described, illustratedin the accompanyingdrawings, which disclose the preferred form of embodiment of theinvention and as brought out in the claims hereunto appended.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a side elevation of the invention. Fig. 2 isa similar view looking toward the opposite side thereof. Fig. 3 is anend elevation. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view. Fig. 5 is adetail perspective view of the supporting member' or piece. Fig. 6 is adetail perspeetive view of the spring tongue. Fig. 7 is a detail view ofthe ratchet wheel detached from the pole.

responding parts throughout the several views in the drawings.

In the drawings the numeral 8 designates a pole or stick which iscircular in cross section and may be of any desirable length, it beingpreferably constructed of wood and forming a handle. -Mounted in theupper end of the said pole or stick 8 is a shank or supporting piece 9,the latter formed with an o'set portion or terminal 10 containing anopening which receives a hub 11, the latter forming an axis anduponwhich is threaded a ratchet disk 12, the latter having at its peripheryratchet teeth 13 engaged by a pawl 14, the latter connected at its innerend by a pivot 15 to spaced parallel ears 16 formed integral with asleeve or collar 17 surrounding the upper end of the pole or stick andreinforcing the same at this end.

.Secured to the sleeve or collar 17 is a flat spring 18, the latterhaving its free end bent inwardly as at 19, the latter containing anotch to receive and engage the pawl 14 so as to normally hold thelatter in engagement with the ratchet disk. To fasten the sleeve orcollar 17 there is provided a screw fastener 20, the latter also passingthrough the pole and shank 9 to secure the saine to the pole as well asthe said sleeve or collar.

On one side of the ratchet disk 12 and lixed to the hub 11 rotatablymounted in the shank 9 is a disk 21, the latter being of greaterdiameter than the said ratchet disk and on the opposite side of thelatter is a further disk 22 correspondingly shaped to the said disk 21and it being also fixed to the said hub 11 so that the ratchet disk 12and the disks 21 and 22 will move in unison with the hub.

It is obvious that due to the diameter of the said disks 21 and 22 withrespect to the ratchet disk 12 they will serve as a guideway for thepawl 14 to prevent the same from any lateral displacement when engagingthe Vrat-Chet disk. It is also apparent that when the pole is moved inone direction the ratchet disk will be engaged by the pawl so as to turnsaid ratchet disk toward the right, but upon shifting the pole or stickin the opposite direction the said pawl 14 will override the teeth 13 ofthe ratchet disk so as not to lock the same with the pole.

Formeel centrally of the disk 22 and projecting therefrom is a squaredlug 23, the latter serving as a key to engage a sash fastener providedWith a square socketed turning hnb for unlocking the fastener and alsopermitting a Window sash to be opened or closed as set forth and formingthe subject matter in my Copending application Serial No. 484,927, filedMarch 22, 1909.

What is claimed is 1. A Window opener comprising a pole, a toothedratchet disk rotatably supported at one end of the pole, a polygonal keymember movable with the ratchet disk and adapted to unlock a sashfastener having a corresponding recess, and a spring controlled lockingpaWl engaging the toothed ratchet disk to hold the same against movementin one direction.

2. A pole of the class described comprising a stick, a shank fitted inone end of said stick, a hub journaled in said shank, a toothed ratchetdisk iXed to said hub, guide disks on opposite sides of said ratchetdisk and of greater diameter than the latter, a squared projectionformed centrally on one of said disks, and a spring controlled pawlmounted upon the stick and engaging the ratchet disk to hold the sameagainst moyement in one direction.

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature, in presence of twoWitnesses.
